On how to avoid being cannon fodder

"Everyone, please enjoy this carnival today!" His Majesty the Emperor laughed and raised his wine glass to the nobles in the palace. He has been annoyed by those pariahs on the Star Network recently, and it is rare to be happy today.He saw a familiar figure sitting not far away, his eyes flickered, he smiled and waved, "Heriman, why are you sitting so far away? Why don't you come over and get close to your Uncle Selance?"

Heriman, who was curled up on the sofa in the corner, heard someone calling him, and looked over blankly.

The 32-year-old Heliman is close to adulthood, his face is very handsome when he opens his face, his light blue eyes are as beautiful as the clear sky, his facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and his platinum-blond semi-long hair is under the light of the crystal chandelier As if exuding holy light, the white-bottomed silver-trimmed gown specially made for the ceremony made him look like an angel who came to the world.If it weren't for his horribly slow reflexes and three-year-old intelligence, people who went to his house to ask for a marriage would break the threshold of his house.

But even so, the Sidia family with countless assets was enough to make people ignore Heriman's shortcomings.Even Herriman like this is more in line with some people with malicious intentions, after all, a fool is always easier to control than a shrewd duke.There are two reasons why they didn't succeed - one is that the old troops of the Kyle military god in the army stared at him fiercely, scaring off many people, and the other reason is that His Majesty the Emperor also stared at him, revealing something He said that he wanted to marry an OMEGA princess to him.

It's a pity that the OMEGAs of the royal family are all arrogant, so this matter has never been done.

Heriman stood up. He was tall and long-legged, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.The height of more than 1.9 meters is not inferior to most adult male ALPHA, his expressionless appearance completely shocked the nobles who saw him for the first time, and gave them a kind of "Duke Sidia's mental strength is only The F-rated rumors are a delusion of discredit.In this era, the mental power of normal people is at least D and above, and the highest can reach SSS level. To say that a person's mental power is lower than D is to say that the person is a fool in a euphemistic way.

Heliman walked up to His Majesty with a straight face, looked at His Majesty for a few tens of seconds, and then said as if endorsing: "Congratulations on Your Majesty's [-]th birthday, I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

His Majesty the Emperor was amused by him: "Oh, thank you, Herriman, where did you find this sentence?"

Heriman said seriously: "Starnet."

The nobles who hadn't recalled it just now couldn't help laughing, turning their heads away one by one, trying not to lose their appearance.The only one present who could laugh unscrupulously was His Majesty the Emperor, but he was obviously used to Heriman's incompatibility between inside and outside, he shook his head and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Heriman, I wish you a good time. "

The melodious music sounded, and the banquet began soon.His Majesty the Emperor invited the only Omega daughter of Duke ALPHA to dance the opening dance, and Heriman, who couldn't dance, shrank back into the corner as a matter of course.He obediently waited until the first dance piece was played, and then quietly slipped out of the resplendent auditorium.A group of waiters came and went in the corridor, but they were not qualified to control the guests who came to the banquet today, and when they saw Heliman, they could only politely wait for him to go away.

You can see the imperial family's private garden when you leave the front hall. Usually, you can't enter here, but it is really common for Heriman. His Majesty the Emperor will call him to contact each other every month, and drink afternoons in this garden. Tea is not once or twice.Heriman swayed around twice, and quickly found his target.

"Lambert!"

The head of the guard, who was on patrol with a blank face, heard a familiar voice, twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his back to the direction from which the voice came, and pretended not to hear it.

"Lambert!" The voice that was trying to suppress was a little louder.

Lambert's hands trembled, and he strode away to avoid this ancestor.

Now Heriman, who was sneaking and beckoning behind the pillar, was not happy, so he rushed out and stopped the head of the guard, and said aggrievedly, "Lambert, why are you ignoring me?"

Helpless, Lambert raised his hand to project a light screen on his personal terminal, and typed: "I'm on duty."

Heriman obviously couldn't understand: "You are on duty, why are you ignoring me?"

Lambert couldn't lift his hand to support his forehead. The two of them spent more than half of their time together. They originally had his brother Frey, but Frey was obsessed with studying biological gene maps when he was ten years old, so he became He played with Herriman. BETA is considered an adult at the age of 30, and graduation from the military academy is also scheduled to be around the age of 30.However, when Heliman went to the military academy before, relying on his strong physique to accompany him, he managed to use his super high actual combat scores to even out the super low scores in liberal arts, and let the school see that he was a duke. He doesn't have a diploma, but now he obeys the assignment to work in the palace, so he can't hang out with his job and hang out with Heliman, right?Heriman would like to come to the palace as a guard, but not to mention what it would be like for a dignified duke to be a guard, the mere fact that the guards of the palace forbid ALPHA would kill his whims.

However, all of this did not bother Heriman, who was often recruited into the palace to "connect feelings".

Lambert could understand that Heriman, as the only son of the military god Kyle Sidia, had a special status in the eyes of the generals and soldiers in the army. This emotional connection cannot be broken just by saying it. His Majesty the Emperor said that he cared about Heriman, but in fact he was not picking up the opportunity to win over the soldiers.He typed: "Wages will be deducted."

Heriman refused to believe it: "Impossible, I have studied the rules of the guards, and there is no saying that the head of the guards cannot speak during working hours."

Lambert choked, and indeed he didn't say no, but he definitely didn't say yes!None of the imperial guards in the past dynasties dared to desert when they were on duty, and it would definitely be worse if they were caught.

But before Lambert could figure out what to do, Herriman had already changed the topic by himself: "Lambert, are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat!" His light blue eyes were always tight. Keeping a close eye on the change in Lambert's expression, he turned and left as soon as he finished speaking.Lambert stood there alone and watched him disappear into the front hall, a bit dumbfounded.Why does it feel like this guy knows everything, and now he is here to make trouble for him on purpose.

He squinted at the guard standing guard who was not far away and peeked this way, then turned and went to patrol elsewhere.

Here, Heriman returned to the auditorium, touched a plate, and began to pile various foods into it.He acted as if no one else was justified, as if he believed that the other nobles present could not see him. Unfortunately, as the richest of the three Dukes of the Felician Empire and the one with the greatest invisible influence on the army, he has long been One of the focus of everyone.Not long after, an OMEGA who came with her parents came over and gracefully raised her skirt to salute: "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Duke Heliman. I am Ariel, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Cumberland. May I invite you to dance?" a dance?"

The people around looked at her mockingly, and from the corner of their eyes, they kept looking at the middle-aged BETA who was looking this way not far away.Cumberland is a newly promoted earl family who has made great achievements by reporting the resource star coordinates. The foundation is still shallow, and now he is eager to find a backer for himself.It's a pity that they have the title of earl, but they can't even compare with some old marquises, and the other two dukes look down on them.They have just admired the demeanor of the Cumberland family being rejected by two companies, and now the desperate Cumberland family has already set their minds on the "well-known" fool Duke.Thinking about it, if there is no Duke willing to protect the Cumberland family, this lucky guy will have to lose face and seek refuge with other earls.

Herriman stopped his movements and tilted his head to look at her.Generally, OMEGA will not take the initiative to apply to dance with ALPHA at the ball, but if OMEGA abandons its reserve and does so, ALPHA had better not refuse.He was a little confused, because this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Everyone knew that he couldn't dance, and they usually ignored him tacitly.

So is this OMEGA here to trouble him?

Heriman was not in a good mood, but his face was still calm, and he said seriously: "Dance with me, you will be stepped on."

Ariel bit her lower lip when she heard this, feeling a little embarrassed.Heriman was cold and indifferent at all times, and although Ariel knew that he was mostly telling the truth, she could give people a sense of contempt and oppression.She barely kept her smile: "It's my honor to dance with you, please don't care so much."

She is a well-known beauty in the aristocratic circle, as long as she gets close contact, she is confident to use her pheromone to charm an ALPHA with F-level spiritual power.

Heriman was even more upset, he clearly refused so clearly, how could this OMEGA come along, he still wanted to deliver some snacks to Lambert.Ariel couldn't see what Heriman was thinking, she was relieved when she saw that he put down the plate and agreed, and she tried to release her charm by arranging her hair.

The two finished mixing a piece of dance music on the dance floor, and Ariel had already been stepped on more than a dozen times by Heriman, intentionally or unintentionally, and she could hardly hold back her laughter.

In fact, although Heriman can't dance, he has very strong control over his body. Simple dances such as ballroom dancing are easy for him at a glance. No problem, he stomped on Ariel so much on purpose.Heriman wanted to leave after dancing, but was entangled by Ariel again: "My lord, I wonder if you like Helengel's poetry collection..."

Heriman was so annoyed that he turned his eyes away and began to consider whether to ignore His Majesty's orders and directly act.

At this moment, His Majesty's laughter came from the other side of the auditorium: "Oh, Elena, I'm so happy that you have come out of your sorrow."

Heriman was refreshed, feeling that he had been redeemed, he quickly turned his head and ignored Ariel.His Majesty the Emperor over there was looking at a gorgeously dressed beautiful woman, and that beautiful woman was holding the arm of a tall Alpha.Because of the angle, Heriman couldn't see the expressions of the beautiful woman and ALPHA, but his excellent hearing ability allowed him to hear the beautiful woman's laughter: "Dear brother, it's all my little Abel who saved me. I really look forward to seeing you again." His wedding."

Abel?

Heriman felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

His pale blue eyes darkened indistinctly.

Yes, he remembered, in the newspaper two years ago, the most outstanding genius in the past century, the "Golden Sunshine" who was secretly favored by many unmarried OMEGAs, is expected to replace the "Imperial God of War" Kyle Sidia in the future. Potential stock, the only son of Earl Fika - Abel Fika.
